Thanx everyone. We are all getting along just fine, but then they did know one another from family get togethers. As to the couch...Barkingdog it is a huge couch but they kinda make it look undersized LOL. pattymac I remember when we got the new couch my MIL said "you know as soon as you leave the dog is on that new furniture" we sorta looked at her with one eyebrow cocked and replied " He is on it when we ARE here!!!". Golfields and Dog Dancer critters have always been my soft spot...if Chum could tolerate cats I would have them too!
